absolutely stunning! The castle at Disney is even more beautiful in person magical by day and breathtaking at night when it lights up. It truly feels like stepping into a fairytale. A must-see and perfect photo spot. Pure Disney magic!!

Visiting Magic Kingdom, this is a must stop photo spot! Not only get one of the Disney photographers to take your picture, but make sure to get a lot of selfies. Secondly it is the place to check out the fireworks here. They really out do themselves on the show. Great to walk around. If you have a little princess spend the money for them to have the princess experience. Where they get their makeup and hair made up. We did it for our daughter when she was 5 or 6 years old and she loved it! The shows here also really cool, you'll see Minnie and Mickey bring out all the best.

This idyllic Cinderella's castle frames the whole of the park as you enter Disney. Even if you don't like Cinderella this castle shrieks Disneyland and everyone should have a picture outside of it. The fireworks are some of the best I have ever seen from anywhere in the whole world here at this castle. Also, the adaptive projection which lights the castle up and displays Disney characters on is fantastic and flawless.

Thank you Walt Disney! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Cinderella Castle was inspired by a variety of real and fictional palaces. These included Alcázar of Segovia, Schwerin Castle, Hohenzollern Castle, Château d'Ussé, Château de Saumur, Pierrefonds, Chambord, Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria and Craigievar Castle in Scotland. Other sources of inspiration include the spire of Notre-Dame de Paris, the Moszna Castle in Poland, built in the 18th century, and the Týn Church in Prague, Czech Republic, built in the 14th century. The chief designer of the castle, Herbert Ryman, also referenced the original design for the castle in the film franchise Cinderella and his own well-known creation— Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in California.

This place is amazing. Whether you’re 5 or 50 years old, you’ll love it. From the world class performances, firework shows, Cinderella Royal Table restaurant inside, it’s amazing. Note that it does take several months advance to reserve for the dining. Make the trip here at least once. It’s worth it!!!

Magical and iconic. Beautiful and nostalgic. The firework they put out every single night is beyond amazing. They somehow find a way to improve the appearance of the castle every year. But it is always crowded, rightfully so. The first video I uploaded was recorded on Jan 25, 2024. Which is supposed to be an off peak time. I don’t think you can find more popular place than this on earth. But the crowd control by Disney is amazing. With some patience and planning, you will have an unforgettable night.

It’s hard to put into words how beautiful this castle is. When you walk through it there’s murals of various Disney princesses. Walking around it - the details are truly magical. Additionally, the general coloring changes seasonally and with different events. I’m a huge Disney fan and seeing this castle up close is always fun. I wish this park would add some type of castle ride or a Disney villains area with an evil castle. Just love this castle in general and I don’t feel my Disney vacations would be as magical without a glimpse of it.

WOW! I can't believe I got to be inside this massively iconic figure at Magic Kingdom. We made reservations for Cinderella's Royal Table, which get you into the castle. It's everything I really imagined, while I was there for both of my daughters, I actually was fan girling myself! It has a ton of real castle details, from the walls, to the steps to the tourets. We were able to take pictures with Cinderella in the waiting area. It was also pouring down rain, but we were able to get in and wait for our reservation. Everyone is incredibly kind and helpful. The castle is a must see, if you can get in I highly recommend.

It's so exciting to see and co Practically it's not even close to the most exciting thing to see at Disney. I am Disney spoiled so my friends and family get more excited than I do when they see the castle because they haven't seen it as much as I have and I guess I take it for granted. I do enjoy being able to walk through Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland but here you get a restaurant so I guess it's all fair. I did get super excited to see the show from the side view where there's usually less of a crowd.

Cinderella Castle is one of my favorite attractions at Disneyland and Disney World. Cinderella Castle at Disney World is located in the Magic Kingdom. It was inspired by the castle in Cinderella! As you walk through the castle, you'll see handcrafted glass mosaics that tell the classic story of Cinderella. You can also book through the Disney World application a restaurant reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table. It's a pre-fix menu and a character dining experience! You'll need to book in advance for the dinner reservation, though! The Cinderella castle is a 189-food feature in Magic Kingdom! It's surrounded by a moat with lawns and gardens! There is a similar layout in Disneyland in California and Disneyland Paris. There's a show that plays in front of Cinderella's Castle, Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire. You can view showtimes on the Disney World mobile application! I was also here for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween during 2023. They had the Sanderson sisters with a lot of the Disney villain characters pre-show prior to the parade! During the fireworks, there was also a show of Jack Skeleton, too, in front of Cinderella's Castle!

A great day was had by our small group at Disney World today. Some food was good, some blah and some was no thanks.

A classic landmark of Disneyworld, I absolutely love being able to walk through Magic Kingdom and catch glimpses of it throughout the park. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't that traditional white/gray color I remembered from when I was a child, but rather the light pink color to celebrate the 50th anniversary, but it was still a beautiful sight to behold no matter what! I would highly recommend walking *through* the castle. There's a path up to the castle and an archway/tunnel underneath that you can walk through as almost a shortcut to Fantasyland area / Prince Charming's carousel. So it both saves you time from walking around it and also has some pretty special mosaics within the tunnel that you can appreciate - absolutely stunning!

The Castle is what you see looking up Main Street when you enter the park, and it's an iconic piece. If you want to walk through it, do it FIRST when you get there in the AM, otherwise, you may not get the opportunity to do so as it becomes a place where they stage shows throughout the day. There are some cool tile murals inside the main corridor. It also has a not-so-secret hotel room which I'm not quite sure how you're able to stay here and if you'd even want to (unless the Minnie-fridge is hooked up). For most people, this attraction is a backdrop for amaze-balls photos and a landmark for Main Street so at the end of the day, you can walk another mile or two to your vehicle or shuttle bus.

Cinderella castle is the iconic logo and backdrop for Disney world's magic kingdom. Forever the most popular photo op at the Disney parks. You are greeted by the massive castle while making your entrance down Main Street. The castle is the center point for the whole park and can be views while walking around or under it. They do host some Restaurants and Character greets inside the castle for reservations and high prices. Then nightly show at closing is always performed right in front of the castle as well. Overall a classic staple of Disney world parks and a perfect photo op for people visiting.

Cinderella Castle is the iconic hub of the Magic Kingdom. It is the location for more photographs than any other place in the park. The castle lights up at night for the evening fireworks display. It is currently decorated for Disney's 50th anniversary celebration. The castle itself is currently not accessible from the front but you can enter from the back. Inside you will see murals relating to the Cinderella story. It is also home to Cinderella's royal table restaurant which is much in demand for families with small children. Try taking photos off to the side of the castle for more interesting views. Photopass photographers are there as well and they can combine "magic shots" to make your pictures more interesting. They have another "frill" now where for $10.00 you can superimpose your picture anywhere on the castle. Every night Tinkerbell flies from the castle signifying the start of the evening fireworks. The castle is a place "where dreams come true"

The castle is just amazing. This must be the most viewed and recognizable place in all of the Disney parks. The way they light it up at night and the fireworks show are just spectacular. The fireworks show they put on daily rivals any I have seen. I would say this is a must do when visiting.

The aesthetic and experience made it worth it but overall, pretty pricey. The steak was delicious. The fish was horrible and tough and not tasty. The chicken with pesto pasta was yummy but a bit salty. The desserts were nice. Not a fan of cheesecake and this place didn't change my mind about that. The lemon sorbet was super sour! Some people who like that flavor might like it. The chocolate everything was done well. We also got the Mickey Mouse birthday cake for $40 and it was tasty but so big and we barely ate it haha

Cinderella's Castle is the spot when you think of Walt Disney World. Have you even been to Disney if you don't have a photo in front of the castle???? It's beautiful to walk through and is the location for shows throughout the day including the nighttime fireworks. Tinker bell flies in before they begin. If you're looking to watch the fireworks in front of the castle make sure you're there early to grab a spot because it gets packed. Off to the right side is Cinderella's wishing well which is also a great place for photos with the castle in the background. There are also a couple benches so you can sit for a minute of quiet.

BOOK the "capture your moment" at Cinderella's Castle we recommend our photopass photogragher: Brittany it's a 20 minute photo session with Disney's photopass cast member I showed Brittany what we were kind of wanting with some Pinterest photos. We wanted photos by the wishing well and overall the side of the castle. We didn't want people in our photos so Brittany recommend the side of the castle instead of right in front because there were going to be a lot of guest in the background. We booked a 20 min session I wasn't sure if it was going to be enough time between two couples. I wanted some cute pictures for some save the dates and my cousin wanted Engagement photos. Brittany did an amazing job and I couldn't ask for better photos. She knew what she was doing and I love that Disney offer this to guest. It very worth it if you want some photos done. Honestly we had some poses in our mind but once we blanked Brittany helped us with some poses for our photos. She was very good and quick with our photos. Our pictures came out amazing and I highly recommend doing this if you're in Walt Disney World.

I've gone many times to Magic Kingdom and I've never been inside the castle or actually seen the night show with fireworks. We decided to stay and watch the show and OMG was it totally worth it. To be honest that must have been my favorite part of our entire Disney Trip. The way the park gets completely and utterly dark while the animation of ALL or at least most of the Disney Characters appears and tell a story all in the matter of 15 minutes with fireworks to match each story is truly magical. You don't have to be a child to enjoy this, everyone will. Next time you're at Magic Kingdom take the time to just enjoy the castle and if you stay until 9:15 enjoy the show. Worth staying for and watching.

This is Disney magic. Period. The Castle just brings me so much joy every time I see it. I visit Disney once a year for the Disney Princess Half Marathon. During that race you get to run through the castle which is such a fun experience! They have photo pass photographers set up all up and down Main Street to get your castle pic. This is a must do when you visit Magic Kingdom. Some people don't really love that there isn't really much you can do inside of the castle. But the photo opportunities kind of are the main attraction. There isn't a ride or anything really exciting inside. That isn't why it was created. You're supposed to let it tap into your heart to pull out some Disney magic. Or if you don't buy in to the Disney magic talk- just take pictures of it and with it- you don't have to be inside of it for it to be an enjoyable part of your Disney experience. The fireworks show every night uses the castle as an element in their show. Absolutely spectacular! Even across the water watching from the Grand Floridian they are magical. Seeing the show is usually my favorite moment of each trip. The trip I don't instantly smile the first time I see the castle will probably indicate that I should spend my vacation money on a new destination.

During our visit in early February 2017, we noticed quite a bit of refurbishing activity at the castle. A large crane on the Fantasyland side was a bit of an eyesore, especially from a slightly elevated viewpoint on the carousel. It was also visible from the bridge to Tomorrowland, and we had to adjust our photos from there to crop out the crane. Inside the castle's walk-through, one side is completely covered to hide ongoing renovations. As a judgy grown-up, I can't help but wonder what Walt would say about all the visible construction work. In spite of all that, I love Cinderella's Castle as the icon of the Magic Kingdom! A visit to MK is just not complete without a photo, or fifty, of the castle. The exterior detail is fantastic, and the tile mosaics in the walk-through that tell Cinderella's story are gorgeously intricate. I'm looking forward to seeing the refurbishments!

The fireworks show was amaze balls. It starts at 915pm daily and it was well over 30min worth of fireworks. The castle highlighted all of the Disney movies and also the villains. It was so magical. Reminds me of my wedding :)

It's Cinderella's Castle! Does anything else need to be said? It looks cool and is the center feature of the Majic Kingdom. The Restaurant inside is pretty good. You can't always walk through the bottom section but if you have the chance, do it. There are tiled pictures inside.

This attraction is absolutely breathtaking. The shows performed throughout the afternoon were spectacular! And my daughter's eye lit up when Elsa froze the castle. The Christmas decorations leading up to it down Main Street were gorgeous! The cast really gives it their all at every performance. The costumes are amazing. The experience itself is worth the crowd you wait with. The lighting and sound were perfect. It wasn't too loud, you could hear everything perfectly. And I think the Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue in front of it are a perfect addition. We were disappointed that you had to pay extra to stay in the park for the fireworks display, but it is what it is. We opted out and left after Elsa's performance. This is one of the most stunning attractions we seen during our stay. The castle is gorgeous!

The Castle I've loved my entire life. Hundreds of times I've stood in front of this Castle, and it always makes me smile. Rather than do a standard review of the Castle, because let's face it, everyone already knows it's the center pierce of The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, I'd like to share a story. A few years ago, I was sitting on Main Street U.S.A. people watching and I began talking to one of the Cast Members I'd become acquainted with from spending so much time there. As we were talking, I looked over and saw an adult family of about 7 or 8 huddled in a circle with their arms around each other and they were all crying. The Cast Member and I became concerned. We thought perhaps they had received a tragic phone call of some sort. The Cast Member and I went over to them to see if they were alright or perhaps needed some assistance. Everything was fine. Perfectly fine, as a matter of fact. They were crying because they were so overwhelmed by seeing Cinderella's Castle for the first time. As I mentioned, they were all adults, but this was a dream they had all carried for a very long time and it brought them to tears. I'll never forget that family and the pure joy they were experiencing. So when you see the Castle, stop, take it in, enjoy it. If you're like me and have the good fortune to see it pretty much anytime you would like, never take it for granted. It is special. Wishes really do come true!

What a magical place! It's impossible to not notice that it is there. It is the first and last thing you see when you get to the park. This is the castle that you think of when you think of Disney - enough said. Make sure to walk by with your mind set to live your best life. Grab that popcorn bucket. Make sure to not think twice about buying that souvenir. Treat yo self!

The centerpiece. THIS is the icon of the Magic Kingdom. I don't care if you HATE disney. You know the castle when you see it. It is, no matter the lighting, the celebration or what have you, ALWAYS beautiful. It is symbolic of your dreams coming true.

Something that I found to be cool is that the only "hotel room" in this park is in the castle. Now, you can't book the room but there's a cool story behind how it ended up there. I think it would be 5 stars worthy if they offered tours of the castle, I'm sure it would book up quickly but that would make a good use of it.

I'm not sure how people are going to feel about my review; I'm gonna be honest. I know the majority of people will give Cinderella Castle five stars instead of four stars. I love the castle so don't get me wrong but it frustrates me a little bit but we will get into that later. I strongly believe that the castles in all Disney parks symbolize Disney; without the castles in Disneyland, Disney World and the Disney parks overseas, the parks would not be the same. Cinderella Castle is gorgeous! When you walk down Main Street, it's hard to not be in awe of its beauty. It is in my opinion, the prettiest castle out of all the parks. When you approach the castle, it is even more magnificent. The attention to detail is outstanding; I love the walls outside the castle that tell the story of Cinderella. But....you stand there and that's all you see is the exterior of the castle. You are not allowed to enter the castle unless you; one- have a reservation for their restaurant, two- take a tour guide of the castle (but how is the question; I heard of people taking tour guides but how do you sign up for it?) or three, you stay at the Cinderella suite. I remember approaching the entrance of the castle and I asked one of the workers if I could go in and explore it a little bit and take some pictures and the worker flat out told me no. I always feel envious of people that eat at the restaurant because I so badly want to see what the castle looks like on the inside; it poses as a difficult task though because you have to make a reservation for their restaurant months in advance. I really wish Disney would follow Disneyland's lead and have some kind of Castle Walk in that tells the story of Cinderella (just like the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Anaheim); I think that would be a nice treat for the visitors. Cinderella Castle is beautiful but unless you are lucky and get to go inside, that's all it basically is to the majority of visitors- just a beautiful castle to look at.

I was at Walt Disney World just one week ago for a Disney vacation I decided to take to celebrate my high school graduation. I had a blast down at the Magic Kingdom!! The Cinderella Castle was one of my favourite attractions and I took lots of pictures in front of it and I even took photos of the castle as well. I totally recommend this place to all Disney fans. Especially those that live on the east coast. While on "It's a small world", I made a wish that I would wanna take at a distance selfie with a Disney Princess or two. And later on, my wish came true. I got good selfies with some of my favourite princesses. Disney world is indeed one of the most happiest places on earth where dreams and wishes do come true after all. Wanna take a vacay to Orlando? Disney World is a MUST!!!

Spent time in Disney. Thought we should all go since we are here for the kids, niece's and nephews. Food was extremely salty. All our food was dried out and tasted as if it was under a heat lamp then served. Cinderella doesn't walk around. Service was good but food is not worth the money you will end up paying. Have to give it 2 stars for the service because it was good but if only for the food it was definitely a 1 star or lesser.

Seriously, it's iconic. You have to love this castle! Larger than its sister castle in California, you can see this one from the monorail on the way into the park. Pretty much anywhere on Main Street offers a great photo opp with this on the background, but closer is better, of course. The murals on the walls inside are gorgeous. There is also a restaurant you can dine in here as well. If you wanna eat here, make reservations way way way in advance! This place is forever booked up. Overall:A I'm a huge Sleeping Beauty fan, but this castle takes the cake!

Cinderella's Castle has come to symbolize not only Walt Disney World and the Magic Kingdom, but the entire Disney empire. It is absolutely beautiful, rising nearly 300 feet into the sky. This is the first thing most people will look for when entering the Magic Kingdom - along with Space Mountain, it is one of the few things that you can pick out from the Ferry or the Monorail as you head over. No, there isn't much to do inside - do check out the beautiful murals, and note that some of the tiles are made out of actual gold - and be sure to book a meal at Cinderella's Royal Table if you've got kids. From what I hear, it's character dining at it's best. Also, if you're at the Magic Kingdom during the holidays, you absolutely must watch them light up the castle at 615pm. The lighting starts with a brief show featuring the Fairy Godmother and Cinderella herself, and it isn't long before those incredible lights are on... thousands and thousands of them, covering the whole castle. It's likely the most "magical" moment you'll have in the Magic Kingdom.

The fireworks show is by far the most beautiful thing I have seen by far!! If you happen to be in Magic Kingdom stay til the end of the park closure. They have the best visuals that correlated with the fireworks I had the chills and highly recommend it! You won't regret it one bit! The Cinderella castle was the best thing at Magic Kingdom!!!

Ok, upon looking at other reviews of the castle I know people are going to hate me for giving this 3 stars... Here's why. Yes the castle is beautiful. I especially love how it looks during the winter time when it's all lit up like icicles are hanging over it. And yes, it IS iconic and the centerpiece of Walt Disney World. However, that is all the castle is. My daughter gets so excited every time we go to Disney and tells me she wants to go into Cinderella's castle. But that's the problem - there's nothing IN the castle. Yes I know there is a restaurant and a boutique, but there is nothing to walk through to perhaps see inside the castle, or even meet some characters in there. Of course we will always LOVE the castle, but as far as a rating it gets 3 stars just for looks. Minus 2 for lack of functionality.

Would have rated this 5 stars but the Disney Employee stopped that from happening! First off - Wow this castle took 6 months to try to get into. Christmas 2018! Somehow at last minute some one cancels and grabbed it up. Hey what do you know if you have The Deluxe Dinning Plan you have already paid that was great! We got to our resort at 3am and I was already up for one day because of Christmas winter storm and delays at air port. So needless to say by time we get the castle it is like 9:30 pm and I was beat and tired and ready to go back to resort and go to bed. But we get seated and all the princess's was going from table to table. and I tell you what them girl's take there time at each table and with every person eating there. photos sign your little book thing. It was really nice. That castle is amazing inside. top props to you Disney for the work in that castle. The chief knew I couldn't eat pork products, and even came out to our table to make sure what I could and could not eat. That was super cool that he took the time out of his kitchen to show a concern. We are walking out of the castle and some girl Disney employee looks at me and says have a magical day! and I thought that was rude! You see when an Disney member says this to you it means to go F yourself. The sad thing about that is I did not say or do anything to deserve that. I am on vacation I get enough of the language during rush hour traffic. So because what that employee shouted at me, the castle loses 1 star. and that's a shame I really did enjoy the place. The Good - Food is great, all the princess take time with you and your family, no rushing to get to the next table. Looks like something out of an movie. really classy inside. they give you a toy sword to take home, and you can buy one of the glasses you drink out of there too. So that is kind of fun. The Bad - Wish I could have got a time during the day and not so late at night. The Ugly - That was just rude of that Disney Employee. But I guess everybody can not be happy everyday! Would I go back there? Maybe if I could afford it again. If I did not have the Disney Deluxe Dinning Plan no way could I afford to eat in that castle. If you have never been inside the castle you should go at least once and bite the bullet. The castle is worth it. Beside how many people in the world can say they have even been that far into the castle!

Center of the Magic Kingdom Park Here's a bit of trivia regarding this majestic structure (you can skip this part if you like): * was completed in July 1971 * repainted in 2006 * contrary to a popular legend, the castle cannot be taken apart or moved in any way in the event of a hurricane... that being the case it was just easier to design the castle in such a way that it can withstand the type of hurricanes that have or can occur there in Florida. * there are a total of 27 towers on the castle * serves as worldwide recognized icon and the flagship attraction for its theme park * inspired by a variety of real and fictional castles * 190 feet tall * a trick that Walt loved to use known as forced perspective actually makes the castle appear even larger... especially when viewed from the beginning of Main Street U.S.A. * there are three elevators inside Large, oppulent, and beautiful this castle serves as a central focal point at the Magic Kingdom park. If you've been to Disneyland and seen Sleeping Beauty's Castle then you know there's really no comparison. Walt really outdid himself with this one. CC is home to Cinderella's Royal Table which if you want reservations for its breakfast then you better be the optimistic and/or the lucky type for it's so popular that it books up completely within a couple of minutes 6 months out! CC is home to the Disney Dream Suite where lucky people can not only bask in all its grace and glory, but also spend the night IN THE PARK! CC is also home to one of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations where children between the ages of 3-12 can have a make-over done in 20 minutes to an hour... for a price of course. Again reservations are highly recommended for this treatment. It's pure beauty makes this castle a popular subject of photographs.

It is nothing less than where you would imagine Cinderella and Prince Charming to reside. Yet I've still never found where they park their royal coach... There are plenty of places nearby to find a Mickey Bar ice cream, or popcorn and soda while sitting with the rest of the common folk outside the castle. Cinderella's mice and wildlife cleaning crew do a good job keeping her castle in prestigious condition. They clearly they keep the green well trimmed, the plants perfectly pruned, and the Windows sparkling. Time to time the crane is left out. But I imagine with small mice hands it takes time to paint the castle, and remove the Christmas lights... No matter how young or old, the castle is truly beautiful. No your first sight or your millionth view, you wonder what it would be like if your foot fit in that slipper and you lived here. Every night the charming spit on wishes fireworks for all to enjoy. The best is if you are in the park late enough to experience the "good night kiss."

Sleeping Beauty's castle has my heart, but Cinerella has a pretty awesome abode as well. It's bigger, but bigger is not always better. Located at the hub of Magic Kingdom. There is just about everything to love about this centerpiece of the park. Show performs here during the day and fireworks at night. It's encompasses all the magic Disney parks are all about. The photo spot to end all photo spots.

Very beautiful and much bigger and more majestic than Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland, CA. Very good photo opp, too, for those who love taking photos at Disney, as my fiance and I do! We got those silly bride and groom Mickey and Minnie ears and wore those and posed in front of the castle :) Very cute! We also had the amazing opportunity to dine within the castle at Cinderella's Royal Table. I will review Cinderella's Royal Table separately, but just know that reservations for that typically need to be made months and months in advance. Even 2 months before our visit, reservations were booked. But my fiance was persistent and wanted to treat me to the best dining experience Disney had to offer and kept checking to see if there were any last-minute cancellations. Surely, there was a last minute cancellation, and we got to diner there for lunch on our last day! The only downside is that the famed fireworks show over Cinderella's Castle was really disappointing. The fireworks only lasted for 5-10 minutes and we barely saw them. But the light-up show on the castle near closing time is a lot more interesting and lasts quite a while. There is a film of sorts playing over the castle and it lights up in a lot of different ways. Very cool. If Disney World has a central point, it would be Cinderella's castle. Great photo opp, very unique dining experience, and full of the magic pervading Magic Kingdom!

Being a Florida resident I visit Orlando frequently, Disney, However i only visited about 4 or 5 times. My 5th or 4th visit (my most recent) was amazing, i went in January so the holiday spirit was still everywhere and let me just say it was breath taking! Cinderella's castle went from spectacular to intimidatingly beautiful i mean it was covered in head to toe christmas lights, so bright & beautiful, we got there right at open and park hopped till close and returned back to Magic Kingdom because it closes the latest and also for the fireworks and light installation show they were just as beautiful as the castle and the light show that was projected ON the castle left me speechless, it was so creative and amazing, to say the least i enjoyed every minute of it !

This place is horrible all they have is a bunch of gift shops were the cheapest item is $30-40. My sister was very excited to see this because she loves Cinderella and princesses. But she was very disappointed when she found out that the castle was just a tunnel with gift shops. They didn't even put rooms or make it a resort because they just wasted a lot of building parts to build a waste of people's time. You should come to Magic Kingdom but don't be surprised when you find out the castle is a wasteful dump.

We were here during the week of July 4th for our summer vacation, and was surprised by husband with breakfast with the princesses at Cinderella's Castle for myself, mom and daughter. The staff were super polite, but not the kind where you know they are just trying too hard. Every table gets a dish of blueberry Muffins, croissants and strawberries.We order the filet, quiche, and scrambled eggs with bacon and sausage. I must say everything was Delish! I was in shock that it was, and when back in town will definitely make reservations here again!

Cinderella Castle is truly a landmark at Walt Disney World, and it's like one of the castles in Germany, with the turrets, and an archway.

This is the castle. And this what you come to see when you stop by - the backdrop to fireworks and the entire Magic Kingdom park, really. Great for photos, and beautiful lighting. In the winter they add "icicles" of light. Fantastic color and a wonderful symbol.

One word comes to mind when I see this massive structure and that is "stunning". Such a beautiful castle and designed perfectly with the upmost perfection.. I have never eaten inside at the restaurant, but I can just imagine how beautiful it is, along with being able to sleep inside the castle. That would be amazing. Just breathtaking to see it in person and to watch the fireworks at night and the show that they project on the structure itself.

As a true Disneyland fan, I honestly prefer Sleeping Beauty Castle. Yes, it is smaller, but I think it is more beautiful and more iconic. HOWEVER, Cinderella Castle is certainly beautiful and magical. It is very large and a pretty awe-inspiring sight as you walk down Main Street into the heart of the park. I enjoyed the changing colors of the castle at night from the different lighting effects. The architectural details on the castle are quite lovely as well. Nearby the castle is the Snow White Wishing Well, which you should definitely check out. Oh and, of course, it is a good photo op spot!

The Iconic image in everyone's mind when they think of Disney World. It's beautiful. Make sure you get a cliche picture of it, and of your group or just you in front of it. There are beautiful mosaics inside the hall of the castle, fun to see. This is where to gather for the fireworks! What a great view! It is truly beautiful! I'm an adult, and this is still magical to me!

It's a castle. It's a fairy tale. It's iconic. It's beautiful. You can see it from any of the Disney resorts that are on the monorail. It's the centerpiece around which it seems everything in the park happens. Take advantage of the numerous PhotoPass photogs around the vicinity of the castle so you can get shots with various angles of the castle as the backdrop. And be sure to walk around the castle, not just through it. There are all kinds of little details.
